This is the reason you don’t ‘sign in with Google’ or Meta or whatever.

smaller providers are not so brave and quick with bans, or it would hurt their image. big providers don’t need to care about their image anymore.

Dawg, people in my country are shocked if your provider is anyone but Google.

This is the reason digital infrastructure should be controlled by the commons. And punishment for misbehaving users should be decided by the state according to due process in a procedurally fair manner, not by corporations that seek to maximize profits.

I agree that is should just be a part of infrastructure like roads, but I’m not sure about the punishment. As long as people are prosecuted by local laws of residence, e.g. the laws might differ in my home country from the place you live. I don’t want to be judged by the puritan laws of the USA, which seem to be sliding backwards into what the christian religion says is okay. But we should take control away from the mega corporations before it is too late to do anything about it.

I don’t think that needs to be the case. At least in Sweden where I live, local laws apply whether you do something IRL or on the internet. For example slander is still slander even if you post it on Facebook. Meta doesn’t need to get involved any more than the phone operator or post office does.
